Evolution Control Committee

An experimental music band founded by Mark Gunderson in the 1980s, the Evolution Control Committee (ECC) typically uses uncleared and illegal samples from various sources as a form of protest against copyright law.

The ECC is probably best known for its song "Rocked by Rape", consisting of samples of Dan Rather's deadpan delivery describing various atrocities over looped riffs from AC/DC's "Back in Black". Nearly as popular are the "Public Enemy/Whipped Cream Mixes", with Public Enemy's inflammatory raps over classic Herb Alpert[?] Tijuana Brass[?].

Albums include Gunderphonic, Jesu Boy of Man's Desiring, Buddha Bleach, and Double the Phat and Still Tasteless.

Related artists include Negativland, John Oswald, the Tape-beatles[?], the Bran Flakes[?], and People Like Us[?].
